For English... "Romeo and Juliet"
It's sort of cool, but when you begin to analize it, you start thinking... Damn, what was going on in Shakespeare's head?!

Opium was in fashion those days so ... whi knows

yo yo yo

Not only that, was Shakespeare some sort of sexually perverted mind?!

right now I'm reading Moliere - Tartuffe..again something I need for school..but this one is one of the best things I've been reading lately..

Molière was a master, and it's a pleasure to read in French

I'm currently reading my x-mas gift: The special edition of One Hundred Years of Solitude made by the Royal Spanish Academy and the Association of Spanish Laguage Academies to celebrate Gabo's 80 b-day and the 25th anniversary of his Nobel prize. Just one word: this book has been, is and will always be a killer

I've the same book, same edition, Alu. I read the novel long years ago (perhaps first year in the Uni... a looot of time

), and some day I'd like to read it again. When I'll have time enough... some day, some month

Is that about the guy Raskoljnjikov or something who killed that old woman and then just couldn't shut up about that!

yep, Raskoljnikov (in my book). But there are different translations. Anyways that guy is insane

I wonder if anything happens with his sister and that guy Razumihin...

If anyone knows, please do not spoil the book for me

This one is another killer

I have read three times, and well, about Raskolnikov's sisters I can tell that... you'll have to finish the book to know if she does something with Razumikin or not

I read Crime and Punishment at a kinda inappropiate age: around 12 or 13. I cannot even remember how it finished

The One · « **Reply #113 on:** February 02, 2008, 01:33:06 am »

I'm suposed to be reading it next year or the year after for English... But my parents have an edition of it in Russian, I think.

I will read it eventually...

Ok, sort of out of the topic, but I just came back from watching "Love in the Time of Cholera", the movie.

Thumbs up!

I haven't read the book, but I have to admit I liked it.

Aluqak, since I can see you're a Gabo fan, go watch it, you probably will like it!

I already have seen that movie and....

.... well, you better go and read the book TheOne, you wiil probably like it better.
Gabo's book shouldn't be taken to the cinema by a very simple reason, Gabo's "magic" stands in the way he tells the story, in the words he uses, in the analogies he makes. As you cannot show that in a movie... the magic is gone

. That's only my opion of course, but thanks for the suggestion anyway

.

Oh! by the way, now reading La joie de vivre (the joy of life) by Emile Zola.
